Ho-kaay.
Trump wants to control aspects of our lives that used to belong to us. He's unpredictable and weird and on some sort of spectrum and now, he's incredibly powerful. No wonder we are watching and waiting so attentively: we're scared!
We ought to be.
Many of us will feel like inmates in a prison. People who have done time will tell you that it's important to study the guards, particularly the sadistic ones. You don't want to wind up dead just because some correction officer came to work in a foul mood following a fight with his girlfriend, and you weren't smart enough to avoid or suck up to him.
If you have or had an alcoholic parent, you are probably well prepared for what we as a nation are about to endure. How much you get abused tonight will be directly related to how many Daddy Donald tied on after work. So it's always wise to watch how fast he takes to turn into the driveway. Read the signs right, and you might just make it out the back door in time.
Of course, there's also the big question: will America survive Trump?
The country will survive no matter what. The system? Maybe not. At this point, probably the only thing that would save the system would be for the Republican-controlled Congress to impeach Trump. (This would also have the effect of saving the Republican Party.) This would have to happen in relatively short order, no longer than in a year or two.
Sorry. I wish I had better news.
It's never fun to be Cassandra.
